I am a Russian Canadian living in Belgium. I am cosmopolitan and observer. Different cultures and people interest me. I enjoy diversity in similarity and similarity in diversity. I never lose curiosity in respect to the world around me and never stop learning. I am tolerant,positive and optimistic, and I like outgoing people with a sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Dum spiro spero

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly surfing and hosting other people. Sometimes meating with the local couch surfers. I also advertise CS among my friends, because I think it's the best way to travel the world nowadays especially if you are not terribly rich:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the last two years different people surfed my couch, and I was surfing other people's couches, and every time it was an interesting and inriching experience for me. CouchSurfing is a network of the open, positive, flexible and adventurous people, who enjoy travelling and each other. Great idea!

Interests

I like an active lifestyle, gardening, tennis, chess, swimming, movies, music, poetry, art and a glass of a good Belgian beer in the company of friends. I also studied alternative medicine. I enjoy seeing new places and meeting new people preferably outgoing, optimistic, young in heart, and with a sense of humor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing people walking on the burning coals at the temple in Japan (and paying big money for this).

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always open to knowledge that can enrich my life. I also can share my experiences about countries I lived in and places that I have visited. And if I asked to teach, I would say: live to make the Earth more beautiful and people happier, try not to hurt anybody or anything.
